My wife is now stuck in the 1930's with boxed-sets of "The Waltons".
I find John-Boy even more insufferable now than I did in the 1970s,
the playing fast and loose with actual history irritating, and the
gaffes too much to take (a little southern hamlet with dirt streets
and concrete sidewalks?).

I keep thinking, what could improve this, and the answer is obvious --
dirigibles and autogyros! If only John-Boy yearned to write for
ASTOUNDING. Or an evil mastermind dug his undergorund lair under
Walton's Mountain... Think of the crossover potential...

"Good night , DOC."

"Good night, John Boy."

Good night, DOC."

Good night, Ham."

Good night, Mary Ellen."

"Good night, Monk."

"Mary Ellen, did you know Monk has a wife and 13 half-witted children
back in New York City?"

"Why you two-bit shyster, I'll..."

SOUND EFFECTS: YELLING< RUNNING FEET< FURNITURE BREAKING< ETC>

When Ma Walton leaves the series and they write her out as headed over
to the TB sanitorium in Phoenix, we know where she's REALLY headed,
where Doc'll perform a special kinda accupuncture brain surgery to
eliminated her criminal tendencies.

"He'll succumb to all who find
DOC SAVAGE! DOC SAVAGE!"

Hey, that's what we THOUGHT the words were,
first time we saw the movie in the theater . . .
